I Got The Rage

One day you wake up and you notice it's all changed
Don't know when or why it happened but you know nothing's the same
Take a look around, do you recognize what you see
After all the neighborhood just isn't what it used to be
And deep inside you know that the world's left you behind
It's dangerous out there, so you'd better stay inside
Just grab yourself a hand grenade and pour yourself a drink
And just listen while the TV screen tells you what to think
It's just suicide of the American way
And you're gonna die unless you do what we say
There's a holy war on and you know who's to blame
All your enemies are just one and the same
I got the rage
I got the rage
Don’t look where we don’t want you to, just look at them instead
Why even think about the rich when it’s the poor that want you dead
Stock prices rise while the sacred dream dies
So let yourself be blinded by the fire in your eyes
They’ll bury you and they'll kill everyone you love
They don’t just want your job, no, they want your fucking blood
They’re the vicious parasites that left your life destroyed
If they’re really out to get you, then you aren’t paranoid
"This, then, is the enemy. Primitive, murderous, and fanatical. This war machine, this empire can be beaten. But make no mistake, for total victory we must make total sacrifice."
We bring you now live footage of the end of a race
When the prophets on cable news taught you to hate
Don’t even ask us if we’re right or we’re wrong
They’re right outside your door, and they’re a billion strong
I got the rage
I got the rage
Are you afraid
Of what's going on?
Don't you wonder
Where the real America's gone?
You need a new dark Messiah for a new dark age
Follow me, because I've got what you need
(I got the rage)
I got the rage
I got the rage

"It must be the American way of doing things that makes you the luckiest guy in the world."
"I don't think I'm so lucky!"
You're not a slave
You fly the red, white, and blue
Those commie bastards
Will never get their hands on you
Oh yes, you’re free
But you’ve got bills to pay
So get to work
It’s the American way
You chose to come here
So you don't get to complain
You could just leave
But every other place is the same
So don't ask questions
Just live your life in denial
It's what you owe us
Service with a fuckin smile
You're not a person
You're just a thing
I've got your life
Held by a string
If you don't like it
You're free to starve
So shut your mouth
And fucking march
You’re so damn greedy
Asking for minimum wage
You should be grateful
That you’re even getting paid
Why do we owe you
A roof over your head
What do we care
If you end up broke and dead
Your time’s our money
So quit living on our dime
We’ll cut your throat
If you so much as step out of line
It’s not our problem
That 9-to-5 ain’t enough
If your life mattered
You’d have been born rich like us
You're not a person
You're just a thing
I've got your life
Held by a string
If you don't like it
You're free to starve
So shut your mouth
And fucking march
There is peace in war
There is slavery in freedom
There is strength in ignorance
So fucking march

Mr. Straightface

He always knows what he wants, he gets just what he desires
He stands there praying for rain, while he's still setting the fires
He keeps the cameras on, so you can get your cheap thrills
He's got an eye for a deal, he's got a license to kill
He's got the humanity of a barbed wire fence
He's got more boots on the ground than any one president
He can make you forget that you weren’t always his friend
He was there at our birth, and he’ll be there at our end
(Mr. Straightface)
What makes you think we wanna fight in your war
Don't you think we know what we're fighting for
(Mr. Straightface)
We’re not as blind as you wanna believe
Because we’ve seen the price we pay for your greed
He massacred all the tribes, lives off the fat of their land
He sent us into Vietnam, and into Afghanistan
He gunned us down at Kent State when we protested his plans
He spies on you through his screens, he’s in the palm of your hand
He throws us outside to die when we can’t afford the rent
He’s there in full riot gear when we the people dissent
He shoots us down where we stand, when we run in from the street
He knows that he’ll always win, that he’ll never face defeat
(Mr Straightface)
We know who it is you protect and serve
But after all you’ll get just what you deserve
(Mr. Straightface)
And we’re gonna see who stands tall and proud
When the shouts for freedom ring just as loud
(Mr. Straightface)
You wanna think that we can’t see through your game
That we don’t know you’re just one and the same
(Mr. Straightface)
But since you never bothered to heed our words
The riot will be the voice of the unheard
(Mr. Straightface)
Just keep your mask on, cause we know it’s all fake
And there’s only so much we’re gonna take
(Mr. Straightface)
Because when the revolution begins
We won’t be the ones dying for your sins

"A few years ago, the only devices available to us were tiny microphones, which could be installed behind the walls or under the floor. To the unpracticed eye, there is nothing suspicious about this room. Nevertheless, these men, for all practical purposes, speaking directly into a microphone."
